Family-friendly places to stay in Edinburgh

Edinburgh has a great range of family-friendly accommodation options, from luxury hotels to cosy B&Bs and flexible self-catering apartments. In addition to the below recommendations, we like the Apex International Hotel on Grassmarket, where kids stay and eat free and which offers an ozone swimming pool, board games and ‘toys on tap’ to use in public areas, free use of the DVD library, family rooms with two queen-size beds, a kids’ menu, baby facilities, and discounts on certain city attractions. Or try the 5-star Edinburgh Residence with its very large, family-friendly suites featuring microwaves and cutlery so you can eat in (although there’s also 24hr room service with a great kids’ menu) and its Family Fun packages.
